The Offshore Wind Tower Will Have 15MW of Capacity and Will Be Built Near the Port of Pecém in the State of Ceará
Last Friday (16), the Secretary of Economic Development and Labor (Sedet), Maia Júnior, and representatives of the companies Mingyang, Saipem, and BI Participações e Investimentos discussed the installation of the first turbine for generating offshore wind energy (in the sea) in Ceará. The project is already in the environmental licensing phase and other authorizations are well advanced for implementation.

Details About the Offshore Project in Ceará
The pilot tower will have 15MW of capacity and will be built near the Port of Pecém. According to the Sedet secretary, this agreement represents an important step for the development of Ceará. “We currently have several offshore wind energy projects in the licensing process with Ibama that total over 6 GW. These projects will be the major producers of energy that will be used in the production of Green Hydrogen,” emphasized Maia Junior.
The schedule now begins with the negotiations for obtaining the licenses, which may take up to 12 months. After the licenses are granted, an additional 6 months will be required for implementation and operation of the turbine. Depending on the conditions for obtaining the licenses, selling the generated energy, and other favorable outcomes, in addition to the pilot project, two other turbines of varying capacities may be installed to test different models of offshore wind energy generators.

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) is venturing into the offshore wind energy market and developing a new model of an offshore wind floater. On Monday (19), the company announced that it received Approval in Principle (AiP) for its floater model with 9.5 scale wind turbines.
Samsung began developing the floater model with offshore wind turbines in October of last year, prior to completing the test of the floating water tank model at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (Kriso) in March, alongside classification societies, government agencies, and other partners.
According to the head of the technology department at Samsung Heavy Industries, Ho-Hyun Jung, the global movement to combat climate change is growing exponentially and there is a significant demand for renewable energy technologies, such as offshore wind energy.
